Review: Well made sketchbook with smooth paper - This is a sturdy little book that carries well with its rounded corners and wipeable cover. The paper is smooth like Hot Pressed and off white cream coloured. The pages have rounded corners too. It’s stitch bound in signatures and opens completely flat (after the outer lining papers which are glued to the first and last signatures). Ideal for ink without bleed-through, I’ve used fountain pen, fine liner and brush pen happily. Watercolour is a bit marginal -the 140gsm paper holds the water on the surface for a while (no texture and I’m guessing surface sized) and buckles quite easily. Once wet, the paper is very fragile and prone to scuffing if overbrushed. That said, at this size (12x12cm) it’s still useable for line and wash if you don’t go overboard with the water. At the price it’s an ideal book for quick sketches and it can tolerate light watercolour washes, wherever those fit into your practice -even if it’s just to get you into a daily sketching habit. Recommended Review: Really pleasantly surprised. Great quality. - I was really pleasantly surprised with this sketchbook. For the price it far surpassed my expectations. Paper: The paper is off-white and extremely thick. I have done pieces creating multiple media type (namely, watercolours, ink, and alcohol based markers)on the paper, with absolutely no bleeding. The paper is thick, meaning the sketchbook itself appears like it has sat more than 80 sheets. It is smooth textured like printer paper, not like watercolour or typical textured paper found in many sketchbooks. This makes it an excellent choice for alcohol markers particularly if you do this kind of art. I really saturated the page with black alcohol marker and it was just visible in some areas on the other side, with absolutely no bleeding through to the page behind. That’s very rare for this price range I find. Colour: the colour is vibrant and as shown. Cover: The hardback cover is extremely sturdy but not heavy, meaning this sketchbook is very lightweight but its contents are well protected. With a lot of pressure there’s some fleecy to it, a bit like a hardback moleskine. The cover is smooth and I’m not sure if it’s leather or not, but itr feels nicely made. It’s not as dense and heavy as some sketchbooks can be which might make it feel a bit less sturdy, but I think that makes it much more convenient to have on the go or in your bag without feeling like you need to lose the extra weight. Quality: the binding is functional and holds well. The elastic strap around the front is a common but useful feature. It’s sturdy, vividly coloured, and looks far more expensive than it is. The paper is very thick and the off white colour gives it a high quality look and feel. A really good gift or treat, but the off white colour should obviously be taken into account depending on what media you use and whether the lack of a white background will alter the appearance of what you want to achieve. To summarise I think it’s really clear I’d recommend this product. It’s great not just for the price point, but in general. It would make an excellent gift for anyone interested in art, doodling, or even as a plain notebook. It would also be great for kids due to how thick the paper is and how much it can hold, and the bright coloured cover. I bought another in a larger size as I liked this that much. It has outperformed far more expensive sketchbooks I’ve owned previously. Finding sketchbooks that make me enjoy creating art and make it easy to just grab something and create (without having to grab stuff to protect the page behind or use a specific type of paint or drawing material) is awesome. In hospital needed something to do. Creating helps me… escape. ## Features - Made of 100% acid-free paper to preserve your artwork for a long period - This is a study, hard-bound sketchbook - Perfect for drawing, journaling, sketching and field studies - Ideal for use with pencil, pastel, acrylics, gouache, ink, charcoal, and light washes of wet media ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09DHQ9YC5 | | Best Sellers Rank | 13,216 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 69 in Drawing Pads & Books | | Brand | Talens Art Creation | | Brand Name | Talens Art Creation | | Colour | Pastel Violet | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,275 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08712079467012 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 12L x 12W centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.19 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | R.Talens UK Ltd | | Material | Paper | | Material Type | Paper | | Paper Dimensions | A5 | | Paper Finish | Watercolour | | Paper Weight | 90 | | Paper finish | Watercolour | | Product dimensions | 12L x 12W centimetres | | Recommended Uses For Product | Drawing, sketch, watercolor, dry pastels, pencils, ink, gouache | | Sheet Count | 80 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Talens Art Creation - **Colour:** Pastel Violet - **Material:** Paper - **Paper finish:** Watercolour - **Sheet size:** 12 x centimeters ## Images ![Sketchbook 80 Sheets, 12 cm x 12 cm, Pastel Violet - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91adX1XoQML.jpg) ![Sketchbook 80 Sheets, 12 cm x 12 cm, Pastel Violet - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/311+4PaPvNL.jpg) ![Sketchbook 80 Sheets, 12 cm x 12 cm, Pastel Violet - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CiIdicACL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made sketchbook with smooth paper *by R***T on 11 March 2026* This is a sturdy little book that carries well with its rounded corners and wipeable cover.

I love the colour, size and paper thickness/texture. No bleed through for fine lines with Uni/Pigma pens, but a bit of bleed through/shadow with thicker pens/brushes. This doesn't bother me enough to fault it, as it's fine once the other page has been doodled on, but it might to others. Oh & alcohol markers will defo bleed through and be a two-for-one image. ## Frequently Bought Together - Talens Art Creation T9314-134M 452329 Talens Art Creation Sketchbook, Drawing Notebook, 4.7 x 4.7 inches (12 x 12 cm), Pastel Violet - Talens T9314-114M 441793 Art Creations Sketchbook, Drawing Notebook, 4.7 x 4.7 inches (12 x 12 cm), Golden Yellow - Talens Art Creation Sketchbook Red 12X12 cm, 140 Grams --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/352381359-sketchbook-80-sheets-12-cm-x-12-cm-pastel-violet](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/352381359-sketchbook-80-sheets-12-cm-x-12-cm-pastel-violet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
